Description
Powerful hard drives designed to deliver performance,
reliability and energy efficiency in small and medium NAS environments
medium.
WD Red® Plus drives are designed to withstand demanding workloads.
for advanced user and small and medium-sized business NAS environments.
WD Red Plus drives deliver the speed and capacity you need
to store, protect and share large volumes of data in
RAID-optimized midsize NAS systems with increased efficiency
energetic.
Optimized for NAS with NASware™
Western Digital's exclusive NASware™ technology adjusts with
fine-tune parameters to match workloads
of the NAS system, which helps to increase reliability and
performance.
Designed for continuous operation
Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is
essential. WD Red Plus hard drives are designed for systems that
operate uninterruptedly, giving users the
confidence in knowing that they can access their data reliably.
Proven and reliable compatibility
Western Digital partners with a wide range of system providers
NAS for extensive testing and to ensure compatibility with
most NAS enclosures.
Optimized to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)
WD Red Plus drives are designed to use less power (at
(unlike previous models) and to work at a lower speed
temperature, which reduces operating costs and helps reduce the
heat in NAS enclosures with temperature issues.
Developed for high performance
Despite consuming less energy, disks have a bandwidth
more than enough to cope with mixed performance demands
of multi-disk NAS systems.
Balanced for increased reliability
Hard drives that are not properly balanced can
produce excessive vibration and noise in multi-unit systems,
which could reduce the hard drive life cycle and degrade the
performance over time. Our enhanced technology
Dual plane balance control improves balance in a way
significantly and increases the overall reliability and performance of the
disk.
Backed by a first-class warranty and support
As an industry-leading hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital
backs up your NAS storage solutions with the security of a
3-year limited warranty, along with first-class support services
class for hassle-free data storage.
Desktop drives vs. WD Red® Plus drives
It is important to choose a disk specifically designed for NAS systems
RAID optimized to ensure optimal performance and
preserve your valuable data. When choosing a hard drive for your NAS,
Please note the following aspects:
- Compatibility: Unlike desktop drives,
WD Red Plus hard drives are designed and tested to work with
NAS specifically and include NASware™ technology that adjusts with
precision unit parameters to match loads
NAS system workload for optimal performance.
- Reliability: Desktop drives are not typically designed for
the demands of an always-on NAS environment. The drives
WD Red Plus hard drives are designed to work in the conditions
demanding that occur in multi-user NAS operating environments
uninterrupted and high intensity.
- RAID Ready: Unlike most
desktop disks that are configured for generic use, the
WD Red hard drives are designed with recovery control
RAID errors that allow to reduce failures within the systems
Multi-bay NAS.
- Protection against noise and vibrations: The discs
Desktops, being designed to operate alone, usually offer
little or no protection against noise and vibrations that occur
are present in systems with multiple disks. WD Red hard drives
include rotational vibration (RV) sensors that anticipate and
proactively counteract the anomalous effects caused by the
increased vibrations that typically occur in NAS systems with
multiple slots.
